| This year Sophia is big enough to participate a little more in pumpkin carving. I had her draw what she wanted to carve onto a paper and then we taped it to the pumpkin and used my hem ripper to poke holes (i lost the poker that came with the carving kit). |

Okay the reality of the whole situation is that-Sophia really did draw the pumpkin and poked the holes. But it was really hard for her to cut, so she gave up after a few seconds. The stem was hard to pull out, so I yanked and yanked and yanked and then she held it, posed and I snapped the picture. And finally she didn't want to get dirty/touch the slimey stuff, so I ended up doing that too-finding out the hard way, that I must be allergic to the junk inside because my hands were burning and I had a red rash up my arm-yeah! So yes, carving a pumpkin is more for me, than for her. She'll remember the experience of having carved the pumpkin and that's what's important- (happy Mom???? Following in your footsteps, I am forcing my kids to have fun and have experiences!!)
